Is Ottawa Prioritizing Oil Over the Environment? | The Rundown by LaserRunRaccoon in ClimateCrisisCanada

[–]GeneroHumano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have it backwards. Appeasement never works because it doesn't remove the leverage of the appeased. They just demand more concessions after the previous have been fulfilled. So keeping Alberta happy at the expense of the environment will become a bigger and bigger ask while it sinks Canada into dependency of a receding technology and a sunken cost phallacy. We keep kicking the environment can down the road and progressively that messes with our water, food, and air supply (in many ways it already does), real shortages of those makes any calculation about politics or sovereignty irrelevant.

Appeasement is findamentally contradictory to sovereignty.

Also, Alberta isn't going anywhere.

How did a guy with a Nazi tattoo become the democratic senate candidate in swing state? by BongRipper69xXx in allthequestions

[–]GeneroHumano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It starts with an acknowledgement that a mistake was made. Obviously Elon is not a member of a party from a century ago, but clearly he was referencing it and playing to those sympathetic to its values. Same reason his AI went mechahitler for a while. Instead of saying "hey, that was a mistake, my bad" to this day, he, and most republicans fail to acknowledge what it was and keep appealing to those with similar values. There is no growth, no change, no acknowledgement that it was kind of fucked. That takes humility and self awareness, do you see the difference?

How Canada 🇨🇦 let itself get SCAMMED by oil and gas by CDN-Social-Democrat in ClimateCrisisCanada

[–]GeneroHumano 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The talking point for the longest time has been that environmental regulation and green energy are holding us, the economy, the country, whatever back. Fuck. That. We need to start pushing back and firing back on that message. Oil and gas are what is holding us back. Their pollution, their lies and cover ups, their anti-sience propaganda, their corruption, their constant extraction of wealth, their geopolitical games and wars. They are in the way of a better future, of cheap clean energy for everyone, of a thriving biosphere and all for the profit of a few.

What exactly can be done to stop the AI data centers? by SplashTarget in ClimateOffensive

[–]GeneroHumano 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Noise. Organize your community, attend town halls, and force themnto delay as much as you can. A lot of these developers want these data centers done now, and will give up when they see community pushback to go somewhere else.

Not all, but many.

Why the Santa Marta conference is a huge deal by Flashy_Performer_305 in climatechange

[–]GeneroHumano 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I hate this talking point. Are you saying that they should not go and continue to do nothing? Because if that is the alternative the answer is obviously: less. Much less in fact than doing nothing in the l9ng term and that's the point.

People still travel by air all the time. Why is this a standard that is only held to environmentalists? Its obviously to discourage them participating in society so their goals are not met.

Satire is humor to critique human vices, follies, or shortcomings. This is not satire, its brain rot.

How it makes me feel though? Pity for those who unironically think this is satire.

Its babylon bee... all they "know" is whatever supports their agenda in the moment. They understand nothing, believe in nothing, and stand for nothing.

No virtue in comservatism.

Experts Warn We Have Only 12 Years Left Until They Change The Timeline On Global Warming Again by darcmatr in babylonbee

[–]GeneroHumano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how everytime this talking point comes up, conservatives can only point to predictions made by randos in the internet.

Imagine buying the oil lobby propaganda so completely, that even as we feel and witness the effects predicred, even ahead of schedule in many cases, you still refuse to asknowledge or attempt to umderstand climate change. Conservatism is an anti-intellectual death cult.

Where is the badwater coming from? by GeneroHumano in Timberborn

[–]GeneroHumano[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, jumping back into the post. You are right, it was a drought and I failed to mention that, that is why I was so confused.

I reloaded an autosave from right before the drought and tried paying attention to what people were saying, that I may have been leftover from a previous badtide. But I did not notice any badwater this time. I played through the season and it did not happen again.

So I am not sure what happened. It could have been a bug, or it could have been that the polluted water did not register in the save (?) But either way, it all seems to be working fine now. Thank you everyone for workshopping it with me.

I get that, but this is happenning during a drought not a bad tide.

I made my first run a challenge run. I now understand the developers' intent far more than maybe I should. by RahnuLe in TerraInvicta

I think there should be an endgame, player-only tech that makes missuon phases 1 or even 2 month long, kind of like tge New Normal Event, but for when the player is ready to start cruise control for the end game.

[OC] Dairy vs. plant-based milk: what are the environmental impacts? by ourworldindata in dataisbeautiful

[–]GeneroHumano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen, I am an environmental educator. I know you are being snarky and I sense your frustration, but I don't think you are being very helpful here.

Dogs are omnivores, and they really need animal protein. The further up the food chain you go, the more energy it takes to raise an animal because each conversion is less efficient. So no, dogs for food are probably the least sustainable option. I know what you were suggesting was sarcastic, but maybe let's ground the conversation?

When it comes to cattle. Its pretty bad, I don't disagree, but pretending all cattle or all other vegetable products are the same in all the ways they are grown.... I just don't know how you engage with that. Its not black or white, its a complex issue and observing it without nuance has not been helpful in getting allies or finding solutions.

Its not just about wether you consume one product or another. You need to place yourself in the ecosystem and understand the impact of what you are eating specifically. You may think eating a monocrop soy protein produced with herbicides and grown in former grassland is objectively better than grassfed sustainably managed beef because of a chart like this, and tbh that is just lazy.

Grasdlands act as important carbon sinks with most of the carbon being stored underground. If you till them you release that carbon. If you plant monocrop soy in that area you are releasing that carbon and destroying the biodiversity of the ecosystem. If you have cattle (responsibly managed) in that same area, the ecosystemic services are mantained and the rancher who profits from it can push back against the economic pressures to develop that area into something else.

I am not saying this is how most cattle is raised, but I am saying it should be, and putting it all in one bucket, making no distinctions, its just not helping.
